.21, theres alot more of them available and also they put out more power at higher RPM's then the .32, plus it will be lighter, or just tweak the .18 a little, at some point there is such a thing as too much power for a hull...

I'm working on Bobs blackjack that will have a Nova.21 in it. .21 is better and have more power then a slug.32...

The Nova Rossi .21 right now is one of the best engines available right now and even better for the price as it's lower than many others that aren't even close to it in performance.
My worry is that from the videos that I've seen of the BJ 26, it isn't exactly the best handling boat around especially in the corners. How far I'd go with it is questionable. Hopefully it does turn better than what I've seen.
Serious power is going to need a hardware upgrade also. The driveline isn't going to cut it and to get any decent runtime, a larger tank will be needed.
